Fast, technical downhill with an optional ladder drop. Gets pretty steep in some sections.

Access Info

Starts from brake through and drops to the fireroad at shotgun. Pipeline is about a third of the way down.

Adaptive Bike Info
aMTB Blue Rating: Intermediate features and steeper terrain.

Most adaptive riders will be completely fine on this trail, even though it's a double black. There are ride arounds for everything. For riders with front wheel drive, there is one steep little ramp over a log you might need a push over. Thats what makes this trail aMTB2. There will be a lot of sliding around in the kitty litter too. Access via Brake Through and the Flow Fall-Line Shortcut. The sort cut kinda sucks -- Its steep and loose -- but if you don't take it, you'll up on an exposed section of Brake Through where you will need a spot.
